90th anniversary of the Holodomor-genocide
This year, we commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor genocide. We mark it in the conditions of the full-scale war and daily Russian terror against Ukraine. Almost a century has passed since those times, but the memory remains painful and fresh because it is actual in the present.
Shelling of the civilian population, terror of hunger and cold, deportations, complete violation of all military conventions, total hatred and cynicism are all typical behaviours of our enemy today. But, apparently, it is almost no different from the methods of the Stalinist regime. The goal has been the same throughout the centuries: to destroy Ukrainian statehood as a phenomenon, to make people believe in “one nation” and that “no Ukraine has ever existed.”
National memory, knowledge of what they forced us to forget, is crucial today. After all, it makes us stronger. Let’s persevere because the truth is behind us.
For the 90th anniversary of the tragedy, the National Museum of the Holodomor-genocide, as a centre for honouring the memory of the Holodomor victims, prepared a list of exhibition, scientific, educational and artistic events that will take place in our institution or with the participation of our specialists.
